But you're right, you were just blessed that you have that big ol' sunken living room and it didn't get to alot of the other rooms! We've not had internal water damage **knock on wood** but more than once we've had the hose in our swamp cooler break and wake up to a waterfall coming off the roof! I have since learned where the water valve is for the swamp! Lessons learned in this way are the lessons remembered! : ) Take care!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335224402118620624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32680196.post-72396420321129212672009-11-15T15:41:54.657-07:002009-11-15T15:41:54.657-07:00Hi Linda,

I remembered how we talked at the book signing that it's was interesting how all the photos of MM on the blog and in the book seem to hide his face. We thought that was kind of cool but also left us curious for a good look at his face. The last blog link Ree lists in her Wal-Mart post is by a woman who got a great shot of him and solved the mystery of what he really looks like - other than the photo in the cookbook...which, frankly is kind of scary to me! I think Ree must love it though because I've seen it a number of times.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299676423098006576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32680196.post-25534074053436504582009-11-14T22:32:35.764-07:002009-11-14T22:32:35.764-07:00OH MAN!!!!

I love your perspectives at the end. You know how to roll with the punches and it's encouraging.<br /><br />By the way, check out Ree's post about the Walmart signing in Little Rock. And check out this gals blog post for (finally) a great photo of Marlboro Man. http://momto5minnies.blogspot.com/2009/11/momto5minnies-meets-pioneer-woman.html<br /><br />It's fun being a PW groupie!Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299676423098006576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32680196.post-15180516345831207032009-11-13T18:39:41.576-07:002009-11-13T18:39:41.576-07:00Wow!

What a crazy night that must have been.<br /><br />I'm not sure we've ever had a flood (or I've blocked it from my memory) but the aftermath of the 94 earthquake wasn't much fun. <br /><br />I hope you're spending your time dreaming of what you'll put in to replace the old stuff because hopefully the insurance company will pay for it and it will be even more beautiful than it was before. I know the process isn't much fun to go thru though, especially during the holidays.<br /><br />I'll be praying for your creativity to make things look lovely during the season. I know you'll make it all great!NanAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608375848496775823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32680196.post-69666276472381095282009-11-13T16:56:11.121-07:002009-11-13T16:56:11.121-07:00Linda,

I'm so, so sorry this happened, but what a precious gift for us to hear your grateful heart through all of it. Thanks for posting the pictures. But I know it probably doesn't come close to the real thing without the smell.<br /> <br />I bet that creative, amazing husband of yours can build you an even better place for your sweet church village.<br /><br />But oh my gosh, now I'm in a bit of a panic! Greg is gone for a little longer in the Middle East---and I'm not absolutely positive about WHERE THE MAIN WATER VALVE IS! Praying our filtration system will be fine for a little longer.<br />Miss you!<br />StephanieStephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32680196.post-71418180540601998702009-11-13T07:42:38.310-07:002009-11-13T07:42:38.310-07:00Hi there,

What a rubbish thing to come back to after a fab holiday. <br /><br />The church village in your picture is so so cute - I love it. I hope you manage to find somewhere just as great for it this year.<br /><br />Good luck with all the work sorting it out. I'm glad nothing of great value to you was damaged too.<br />JadeNo Longer 25https://www.blogger.com/profile/08406384646112029699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32680196.post-35631282269140784092009-11-12T15:28:53.193-07:002009-11-12T15:28:53.193-07:00Wow!

So glad it didn't get into your craft room!<br /><br />Once before we were married, Quin left on a deployment for a LONG time and the upstairs toilet in his apartment leaked through the ceiling to the downstairs. It leaked for a long, long time before anyone found it. The aftermath was horrible--mold growing a foot up the walls! I've never seen anything like it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248929294041682868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32680196.post-77011070444644009922009-11-12T10:09:40.895-07:002009-11-12T10:09:40.895-07:00Oh I am so sorry!

Can you have the window seat rebuilt?<br />When hubs gets up, I am asking where the main water valve is....I have no idea!<br />I have to tell you once my uncle and his wife left for Hawaii. While gone for 2 weeks their refrig died....It took them MONTHS to get the smell out of the house. It was horrible.<br />Such little things we take for granted....hope all is going well.Ceekay-THINKIN of HOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111241316745923019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32680196.post-22589614258526337752009-11-12T08:09:05.189-07:002009-11-12T08:09:05.189-07:00Oh dear Linda!

Thank God for guys who can come late at night to extract water, and who do their job well to make sure no mold can grow. <br /><br />I'd be sad to see the built-ins come out too. But I bet once you & Randy are done fixing & re-doing and all that, it will look awesomely awesome.Skerribhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707156860853749119noreply@blogger.com
